The EZ1 Advanced XL DNA Large-Scale Bone Card is programmed with protocols for the purification of DNA from bone or teeth lysates. These protocols enable the extraction of mitochondrial or total genomic DNA with the utmost care for sample purity and yield. The ease of use and rapid processing times mean an optimized workflow with the possibility to purify and test DNA in a single day.

EZ1 Advanced Cards are used in combination with EZ1 Kits on the EZ1 Advanced. Please refer to the specific EZ1 Kit handbook and the EZ1 Advanced User Manual for information about product use.
